Chapter 620 - Transformation of Libiya Kingdom 3 (1/2)
The change in the movement of the Libiya Kingdom was known all over the continent.
The most flustered ones were the Volga Republic.
It was decided that they would invade the Baroque Empire along with the Libiya Kingdom, however, Shaikan seemed to have changed his plans.
They at least hoped that Shaikan would continue to support the peasant rebellion, but even took his hands out from it.
“Ahh! This is why the Baroque Imperial family should never be believed!”
President Vladimir Rekov burst into anger.
And with the Libiya Kingdom withdrawing their support, the activities of the peasant rebels were diminished greatly.
“Sire, now that this has happened, we need to get out of there.”
“That isn’t possible. The peasant rebels are like the shackles who will hold down Rudolf. We shouldn’t step back because the Libiya kingdom withdrew their support.”
Officials were split on the matter.
The one side of Volga Republic said that the burden was too large for their nation and if it backfired, then it would be scary.
The president wanted to continue the support of the peasant rebels.
In addition to them being the shackles which held Rudolf, there was another idea.
“Why did we build this nation? Why did we drive out the kings and the unclean nobles and set up a republican form of ruling which every other nation is scared of? Wasn’t it all to save the people who were being persecuted and create a land where dignified ideals could be achieved?”
Everyone nodded at their president’s words.
Although there was a status quo.
The nobles in the Volga Republic didn’t get the chance to step up to any other titles than the ones they possessed.
They didn’t have a chance to rise, but there were a few guarantees given to them.
“Turning our backs when they are all having a hard time. How would the people in the Baroque Imperial see us? Seeing us as the nobles, as the monarchs, they would think we abandoned them after using them. And if that happens, the flames of republican revolution wouldn’t spread anymore.”
President Vladimir’s words had great power.
He questioned about the spirit of revolution, and there was no one who had the courage to refute it.
Everyone in the room had all participated and worked through the republican revolution.
However, reality was a problem.
The finance minister, who was the most sensitive one regarding the problem opened his mouth.
“Sire, I apologize, but revolution costs a lot of money. Don’t forget that when we were in trouble, Bratt and the other fairies were the ones who supported us.”
“That isn’t something I can never forget. I have no intention of ignoring reality.”
“Then…?”
“We need to find a new partner. There will be some nations who don’t like the stability of the Baroque Empire.”
At the words of the president, the foreign minister quickly found the candidate.
“Let’s have a meeting with the Symphonia Kingdom.”
The Treaty and Alliance with the Symphonia Kingdom during the days of Milton was kept secret.
Moreover, the King of Symphonia Kingdom, Luke de Rakan, was a man who had a huge dislike for the Baroque Imperial family.
So they expected help from Symphonia Kingdom.
However, with a magic communication, their expectations were missed.
“Sire, we received an answer that it would be difficult for the Symphonia Kingdom to take our side.”
“And the reason for it?”
“it was said that the damage they received during the last attack of the warlocks hasn’t completely recovered yet. Moreover, they are in a situation where they are trying to manage the warlocks…”
“Well, this means they are tied too?”
President Vladimir nodded his heads as he was convinced, but there was one thing he didn’t know.
It was Luke’s expedition to the Southern Continent.
In a situation where the King was absent, the retainers of the Symphonia Kingdom couldn’t take any actions.
However, if they let others know about the absence of their king, the enemies might try to attack the Kingdom.
“If Symphonia can’t help us, then the…”
“There is the Holy Arthenia Empire. The one right next to the Baroque Empire.”
At the words of the foreign minister, the president sighed.
“I know that, but… it is princess Reina. Well, will Pope Veronica accept our request?”
It was princess Reina, whom the Republicans had driven out of the nation, even though she was admired by the people.
They knew that she had no bad feelings against the Volga Republic, but they wondered if she would accept any request which would do a favor for the republicans.
In addition, there were rumors that the old retainers and supporters of the royal family of Volga, like Victor, who was the Volga Guard Knight, and Belik, the Firestorm were around the Pope.
